Abstract excerpt
Understanding the genetic basis of multiple sclerosis (MS) remains a major challenge, despite decades of intensive research. In order to identify candidate non-MHC susceptibility regions to MS, the results of whole genome screens for linkage or association and follow-up studies in 18 different populations were superimposed together in a combined genomic map. Analysis of this map led to the prediction of at least...
